復(fù)雜的分割結(jié)構(gòu)（插入語(yǔ)）的理解 例220

例220　In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句子開頭是個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)做狀語(yǔ)，也就就是In Australia，后面是個(gè)插入語(yǔ)，也是定語(yǔ)從句修飾Australia，該定語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes，動(dòng)詞是have all played，賓語(yǔ)是their part，后面是個(gè)句子真正的主干，也就是other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于超級(jí)定語(yǔ)從句的使用，是where引導(dǎo)的，很長(zhǎng)，很有氣勢(shì)。

【核心詞匯】

an aging population　人口老齡化

life-extending technology　延長(zhǎng)壽命的技術(shù)

changing community attitudes　變化的社會(huì)態(tài)度

deal with　應(yīng)對(duì)

euthanasia　安樂死

【參考譯文】在澳大利亞——人口老齡化，延長(zhǎng)壽命的技術(shù)和變化的社會(huì)態(tài)度，這些因素都在發(fā)揮作用——其他的州也會(huì)考慮制定相似的關(guān)于安樂死的法律。
